Summary of Items of ConcernSummary of Items of Concern

A Home Inspection is a non-invasive visual examination of a residential dwelling,performed for a fee, which is designed to identify observed material defects withinspecific components of said dwelling. Components may include any combination ofmechanical, structural, electrical, plumbing, or other essential systems or portions ofthe home, as identified and agreed to by the Client and Inspector, prior to theinspection process.A home inspection is intended to assist in evaluation of the overall condition of thedwelling. The inspection is based on observation of the visible and apparent conditionof the structure and its components on the date of the inspection and notthe prediction of future conditions.A home inspection will not reveal every concern that exists or ever could exist, butonly those material defects observed on the day of the inspection.A material defect is a condition with a residential real property or any portion of it thatwould have a significant adverse impact on the value of the real property or thatinvolves an unreasonable risk to people on the property. The fact that a structuralelement, system or subsystem is near, at or beyond the end of the normal useful life ofsuch a structural element, system or subsystem is not by itself a material defect.An Inspection report shall describe and identify in written format the inspectedsystems, structures, and components of the dwelling and shall identify material defectsobserved. Inspection reports may contain recommendations regarding conditionsreported or recommendations for correction, monitoring or further evaluation byprofessionals, but this is not required.On this page you will find, in RED, a brief summary of any CRITICAL concerns of the inspection, asthey relate to Safety and Function. Examples would be bare electrical wires, or active drain leaks.The complete list of items noted is found throughout the body of the report, including NormalMaintenance items. Be sure to read your entire report!For your safety and liability, we recommend that you hire only licensed contractors when having anywork done. If the living area has been remodeled or part of an addition, we recommend that youverify the permit and certificate of occupancy. This is important because our inspection does nottacitly approve, endorse, or guarantee the integrity of any work that was done without a permit, andlatent defects could exist. Depending upon your needs and those who will be on this property, items listed in the body of thereport may also be a concern for you; be sure to read your Inspection Report in its entirety.Note: If there are no comments in RED below, there were no CRITICAL system or safety concernswith this property at the time of inspection. In the main body of the report comments in BLUE indicatecertain observations made, homeowner deferred maintenance, and maintenance tipsRatings and how to view this reportThis report uses a check box style ratings system with narratives to describe the conditions of thesystems that exist in your home. We try whenever possible to include a narrative and photograph ofan item. There are many systems in a home that if functioning properly do not warrant the use of anarrative which is why we use this ratings system. You as the homeowner can view this report andbe sure that a system has been inspected, and opinion given on its condition.The following is an explanation of our ratings system: GOOD: The item(s) or system(s) inspected show no visible signs of deficiency and is in goodserviceable condition. FAIR: Item(s) inspected in fair serviceable condition. In order to maintain the integrity of the systemrecommend continued home owner maintenance. NEEDS REPAIR: The Integrity of the Item(s) or system(s) inspected has been compromised.

This inspection does not include testing for radon, mold or other hazardous materials unlessspecifically requested.Plumbing is an important concern in any structure. Moisture in the air and leaks cancause mildew, wallpaper and paint to peel, and other problems. The home inspectorwill identify as many issues as possible but some problems may be undetectable dueto problems within the walls or under the flooring. Note that if in a rural location, sewer service and/or water service might be provided byprivate waste disposal system and/or well. Inspection, testing, analysis, or opinion ofcondition and function of private waste disposal systems and wells is not within thescope of a home inspection. Recommend consulting with seller concerning privatesystems and inspection, if present, by appropriate licensed professional familiar withsuch private systems. If a Septic System is on the property, pumping is generallyrecommended prior to purchase, and then every three years. Interior areas consist of bedrooms, baths, kitchen, laundry, hallways, foyer, and otheropen areas. All exposed walls, ceilings and floors will be inspected. Doors andwindows will also be investigated for damage and normal operation. Althoughexcluded from inspection requirements, we will inform you of obvious broken gas sealsin windows. Please realize that they are not always visible, due to temperature,humidity, window coverings, light source, etc. Your inspection will report visibledamage, wear and tear, and moisture problems if seen. Personal items in the structuremay prevent the inspector from viewing all areas, as the inspector will not movepersonal items.An inspection does not include the identification of, or research for, appliances andother items that may have been recalled or have had a consumer safety alert issuedabout it. Any comments made in the report are regarding well known notices and areprovided as a courtesy only. Product recalls and consumer product safety alerts areadded almost daily by the Consumer Product Safety Commission. We recommendvisiting the following Internet site if recalls are a concern to you: http://www.cpsc.gov.

Chimneys -Areas of chimney flues cannot be adequately viewed during afield inspection, which has been documented by the Chimney SafetyInstitute of America, reported in 1992: "The inner reaches of the flue are

http://www.cpsc.gov

Eyeball Home Inspection Services. 1234Brookhaven Ct, Fontana, CA

Page 6 of 27

relatively inaccessible, and it should not be expected that the distantoblique view from the top to bottom is adequate to fully document damageeven with a strong light". Therefore, because our inspection of thechimneys is limited to those areas that can be viewed without dismantlingany portion of them, and does not include the use of specializedequipment, we will not guarantee their integrity and therefore recommenda Level One (2) Fireplace Safety Inspection by a Certified Chimney Sweepor Chimney Fireplace Specialist. Also recommend an annual chimney fluecleaning as a standard preventative maintenance practice and isrecommended by the Fire Protection Association at sale or Transfer of RealEstate. Level of inspections:Level II: includes Level I visual inspection. Proper clearance fromcombustibles in accessible locations, proper construction and condition ofaccessible portions of the chimney structure and all enclosed flues, allaccessible portions the chimney exterior and interior, including areas withinaccessible attics, crawl spaces, and basements. Most Include inspection byvideo camera scanning.

**CARBON MONOXIDE DETECTORS** The Consumer Product SafetyCommission recommends that every residence with fuel-burning (gas)appliances be equipped with a UL Listed CO alarm. CO is colorless, odorlessand Tasteless gas thus impossible to detect without a proper electronicdetector. At a minimum, put an alarm near the sleeping rooms on eachlevel in your home. Maintain all CO detectors as home ownermaintenance.Dryer Vent connector - Lack of a improperly installed vent connector orproper dryer venting to the exterior may result in excessively high humiditylevels which can damage home materials or components and mayencourage the growth of microbes such as mold. Lack of proper dryerventing can also result in the accumulation of lint in the home. Lint iscombustible and its accumulation is a potential fire hazard and a possiblehealth hazard from the inhalation of particulates. Recommend properinstallation of an Underwriter’s Laboratory (UL)-approved dryer vent pipeor duct for safety reasons. Dryer and vents should be cleaned on a plannedscheduled (Most manufactures recommend monthly) to ensure that safeconditions continue to exist. Failure to properly maintain the appliancemay potentially void any manufacture and or home warrantycoverage and can also create unsafe operating conditions.

Fire Suppression Sprinkler System Installed –The covers (and the

sprinkler heads) are not allowed to be painted or have any texture onthem. It can interfere with the proper operation. Any Fire SuppressionSprinkler System more than 5 years old should be professionally servicedand certified. These systems can fail from non-use. Recommend regulartesting of the system flow alarm. The Alarm is located exterior uppersidewall and should be heard by all occupants from all bedrooms. Anyextensions or alterations of your sprinkler system must be approved by thelocal fire department prior to work being done. Contact your firedepartment if and when any activation of your sprinkler system occurs(except when testing the system). Do not do anything that would hinder itsperformance such as painting or hanging objects from the sprinkler headand never turn off or disconnect the system from its sprinkler head and donot turn off the sprinkler system in the event of a fire. Let the firedepartment do it. Recommend having the system tested and certifiedby a fire sprinkler inspector specialist prior to close of escrow orcontact the local fire department for guidance.GFCI Type Receptacles - A "GFCI" is a ground fault circuit interrupter. Aground fault circuit interrupter is an inexpensive electrical device that, ifinstalled in household branch circuits, could prevent over two-thirds of theapproximately 300 electrocutions still occurring each year in and aroundthe home. Installation of the device could also prevent thousands of burnand electric shock injuries each year. The GFCI is designed to protectpeople from severe or fatal electric shocks. Because a GFCI detects groundfaults, it can also prevent some electrical fires and reduce the severity ofothers by interrupting the flow of electric current. An unintentional electricpath between a source of current and a grounded surface is referred to asa "ground-fault." Ground faults occur when current is leaking somewhere,in effect, electricity is escaping to the ground. How it leaks is veryimportant. If your body provides a path to the ground for this leakage, youcould be injured, burned, severely shocked, or electrocuted. GFC Ireceptacles recommended installed at the garage, and exterior sidewalls.Maintain all GFCI RECEPTACLES AS HOME OWNER MAINTENANCE.

Electric: Note that only actual GFCI outlets are tested and tripped. Some baths may havenon-GFCI outlets which are protected by a GFCI outlet in a remote area (garage, another bath,etc.). Confirm with owner that apparent non-GFCI outlets within 6’ of wet areas are thusprotected. Also, note that most electricians agree that smoke detectors are good for about 5years, and the breakers in your panel box have an expected life of about 20 years. Therefore,if this home was built before 1990, consider having the panel box and breakers evaluated by alicensed electrician, as an overheated breaker can result in a structural fire. If your homedoes not have a carbon monoxide detector (few do!), we recommend making that investment.Any home that has a Bulldog Pushmatic, Zinsco, Sylvania Zinsco or Federal Pacific Electricpanel should have it evaluated by a licensed electrician, as these older types of panels andbreakers have been known to overheat and cause house fires.Heat: The heating, ventilation, air conditioning and cooling system (often referred to asHVAC) is the climate control system for the structure. The goal of these systems is to keepthe occupants at a comfortable level while maintaining indoor air quality, ventilation whilekeeping maintenance costs at a minimum. The HVAC system is usually powered by electricityand natural gas, but can also be powered by other sources such as butane, oil, propane, solarpanels, or wood. The inspector will test the heating and air conditioner using the thermostator other controls. A more thorough investigation of the system, including the heat (“firebox”)exchanger, should be conducted by a licensed HVAC service person every year. Failure to do


Page 14 of 27

so may result in carbon monoxide escaping through cracks in a heat exchanger or flue pipe,resulting in death.The inspection of the heating and cooling systems is for testing ofoperation only using normal user operating controls (Thermostat),no remaining life expectancy or warranty is implied and thisinspection is not intended to be technically exhaustive and nodismantling of any system (evaporator assemblies included) isperformed. Adequacy of system design is excluded from thisinspection report. Service life of older units is between 10 &20years and an older system or unit may be nearing the end of ituseful serviceable life. Air Conditioning systems should beinspected and certified by a (HVAC) contractor. Air Conditioningsystems require routine and periodic maintenance for peekperformance. Maintain filter(s) clean as preventative maintenanceat air return chamber areas for best system performance. Somesystems fail after taking possession (REO'S and Short sales) maytake several months to close - Recommend obtaining a homewarranty service contract that covers both furnace and AC systemsas systems have been known to fail the next day, week, or monthsafter taking possession of your home.

Plumbing systems have common components, but they are not uniform.In addition to fixtures, these components include gas pipes, water pipes,pressure regulators, pressure relief valves, shut off valves, drain pipes,vent pipes and water-heating devises. The water pressure in pipes iscommonly confused with water volume, or functional flow, but where ashigh volume may be desirable, high pressure is not. In fact, wheneverstreet pressure exceeds eighty pounds per square inch (PSI) a regulator isrequired, which typically comes factory pre-set between 40 and 65 PSI.Regardless, consumers need to understand that leaks will occur in anysystem and in particularly a system with older pipes including PVC plasticpipes or one which a regulator fails and high pressure is able to stress thewashers, diaphragms and other internal parts or components that affectfunctional flow. Predictions of future leakage and water functionalflow is not part of this inspection. Consult with sellers for a historyof any past leaks or repairs.The “AFCI” is an arc fault circuit interrupter. AFCIs are newly-developed electrical devices designed to protect against fires caused byarcing faults in the home electrical wiring. Arcing faults are one of themajor causes of these fires. When unwanted arcing occurs, it generateshigh temperatures that can ignite nearby combustibles such as wood,paper, and carpets. Arcing faults often occur in damaged or deterioratedwires and cords. Some causes of damaged and deteriorated wiring includepuncturing of wire insulation from picture hanging or cable staples, poorlyinstalled outlets or switches, cords caught in doors or under furniture,furniture pushed against plugs in an outlet, natural aging, and cord


Page 15 of 27

exposure to heat vents and sunlight. Maintain all AFCI breakers ashome owner maintenance.Water Heater - Flammable vapor ignition (FVI) typically occurs whencontainers of volatile liquids, such as gasoline, are left uncapped or arespilled. These vapors travel readily undetected. Should they come incontact with any open flame or spark such as from a gas burning appliance,they can ignite causing fires and injuries. Current gas hot water heaterscontain special flammable vapor ignition resistant (FVIR) technology thatprevents the ignition of flammable vapors, such as spilled gasoline, outsidethe unit. All gas hot water heaters sold since July 1, 2003, must have thisFVIR technology. Maintain filter at base of water heater clean of debris ashome owner maintenance.1.

Note that minor settlement or “hairline” cracks in garage or basement slabs are not noted in aninspection, as they are normal to properties of any age. They should, however, be monitored forexpansion and sealed as necessary. Residential inspections only include garages and carports thatare physically attached to the house. They are not considered habitable, and conditions are reportedaccordingly.Inspectors are not required to enter any crawlspace areas that are not readily accessible, less than36” clearance, wet (electrical shock hazard), or where entry could cause damage or pose a hazard tothe inspector.We recommend that all attic hatches have a batt of fiberglass insulation installed over them, and thatthe hatch be sealed shut with latex caulk. This will keep warm moist air from entering the attic, whichmay cause condensation or even mold. Note that every attic has mold; mold is everywhere. Someattics have some minor visible mold. This is often a result of the building process, when materials getwet during construction. If there is extensive mold, or mold that appears to have grown due to poormaintenance conditions, we will report it to you, the client. If the hatch is sealed shut when we go toinspect the attic, it can only be unsealed by the owner or their representative, as our insuranceprohibits us from performing any destructive testing or entry. In accordance with industry andinsurance standards, we will not attempt to enter an attic that has no permanently installed steps orpull-down stairs; less than thirty-six inches of headroom; does not have a standard floor designed fornormal walking; walking, in the inspector’s opinion, may compromise the ceiling below; is restrictedby ducts, or in which the insulation obscures the joists and thereby makes mobility hazardous, inwhich case we will inspect the attic as best we can from the access point, with no comments orevaluations of areas not readily viewed from the hatch area. ATTIC INSPECTIONS - Observations are made to reveal roof leakage and structuraldamage. However, this inspection does not guarantee against roof leakage.Conditions concealed underneath attic insulation and in smaller attic areas and areas

that are not accessible or have limited access are excluded. Attic Roof Ventilation -Attic ventilation is an important part of roofing. Proper attic ventilation extends the lifeof a roof and reduces problems because it minimizes the temperature differentialbetween the attic and the air outside. Proper ventilation will remove moisture and heatfrom the attic. Trapped heat and moisture can raise energy costs and damage roofsystem structural components as well personal items located inside the attic wheretemperatures can easily reach 150F (65C) and if the health &safety of the inspector isjeopardized, the attic inspection may terminate early.1.

As with all areas of the house, we recommend that you carefully examine the roofimmediately prior to closing the deal. Note that walking on a roof voids somemanufacturer’s warranties. Adequate attic ventilation, solar / wind exposure, andorganic debris all affect the life expectancy of a roof (see www.gaf.com for roof info). Always ask the seller about the age and history of the roof. On any home that is over3 years old, experts recommend that you obtain a roof certification from an establishedlocal roofing company to determine its serviceability and the number of layers on theroof. We certainly recommend this for any roof over 5 years of age. Metal roofs insnow areas often do not have gutters and downspouts, as there is a concern thatsnow or ice cascading off the roof may tear gutters from the house. Likewise, beadvised that such cascading may cause personal injury or even death. If this househas a metal roof, consult with qualified roofers or contractors regarding the advisabilityof installing a damming feature which may limit the size and amount of snow / icesliding from the roof. Grading and drainage are probably the most significant aspects of a property, simplybecause of the direct and indirect damage that moisture can have on structures. Moredamage has probably resulted from moisture and expansive soils than from mostnatural disasters. Also, there should be gutters and downspouts with splash blocksthat discharge away from the building. We have discovered evidence of moistureintrusion inside structures when it was raining that would not have been apparentotherwise. In addition, we recommend that downspouts do not terminate over pavedareas such as walks or driveways, as they can contribute to icy slip and fall hazards inwinter.Minor settlement or “hairline” cracks in drives, walks or even foundations are arenormal to properties of any age. They should, however, be monitored for expansionand sealed as necessary. Note that any siding, but especially composition or hardboard siding must be closelymonitored. A classic example is the older style Louisiana Pacific siding, where thefailure and deterioration provided grounds for a class action lawsuit. Even moderncomposition siding and, especially, trim, is particularly vulnerable to moisture damage.All seams be must remain sealed and paint must be applied periodically (especiallythe lower courses at ground level). It is imperative that continued moisture be keptfrom it, especially from sprinklers, rain splash back or wet grass. Swelling anddeterioration may otherwise result. Vegetation too close to the home can contribute to damage through root damage tothe foundation, branches abrading the roof and siding, and leaves providing a pathwayfor moisture and insects into the home.Although rails are not required around drop-offs less than 30”, consider your ownpersonal needs and those of your family and guests. By today’s standards, spindlesat decks and steps should be spaced no more than 4” apart for the safety of children.

Open window wells should have either grates or, preferably, a weatherproof shieldinstalled over them. This will keep rain and snow from building up inside the well andpossibly leaking into the home, as well as minimizing your liability from children andnon-residents falling inside them. An egress ladder should also be installed within thewell, especially at below-grade bedrooms. Wood Insect Boring Inspection– As per California Business and ProfessionalCode Section: 8500-8519.5 “No persons shall perform and inspect for wooddestroying infestations and infections unless licensed by the “California State PestControl Board.” The pest control inspection is to include unless otherwise specified,all information regarding the foundation walls, substructure, footings, patios and steps,porches, attic spaces, abutments, air vents, roof framing, that includes the eaves,fascia, rafters, exposed sheathing, exposed timbers, ceiling joists, and attic walls,and/or other parts subject to attack by wood destroying pests or organisms. Conditionsusually deemed likely to lead to infection and/or infestation, such as earth to woodcontacts, faulty grade levels, evidence of roof leaks, excessive cellulose debris,moisture conditions, and insufficient ventilation are to be reported. No inspection forwood destroying pests is made by this Home Inspection Company to detectpast or present Wood insect boring activity including rot and decay. Wood isinspected for deterioration only. Only a State Licensed termite (WDI-Wood DestroyingInsect)) inspection company can call out rot and WDI insect activity. If viewable wooddeterioration will be noted and referred to have a State Licensed Termite InspectionCompany evaluate and treat/repair as needed.

ROOF Inspections - Every roof is as good only as good as theweatherproof membrane beneath it, which is concealed and cannot be seanwithout removing the roofing material and is equally true of almost all roofcoverings. However, what remains to be true of all roofs is that, whereastheir condition can be evaluated, it is virtually impossible for anyone todetect a leak or leaks except as it is occurring or by specific water tests,which are beyond the scope of this inspection and disclaimed. Significantrainfall on the day of the inspection is a good water test to detect waterintrusion into the attic and living spaces. Maintain sealant at all roof ventpipe, chimney, skylight, edge flashings and any and all other penetrationsas preventative maintenance to prevent interior water leakage.Recommend annual and semi annual roof inspection by state licensed roofcontractor, C-39 Classification as preventative maintenance to preventwater intrusion and damage.

Rain Gutters and Downspouts. While gutters and downspouts are notintegral components of a building and carry little weight in establishing thestructural condition of a building, they still perform an important function;Degenerated gutters and downspouts, or the lack of gutters anddownspouts can have a negative impact on other building components byallowing water run-off to penetrate or cause damage to building surfaces:Fascia boards, siding and foundations systems. Maintain all rain guttertroughs clean for complete water drainage from the roof.

Lot grading and drainage have a significant impact on the building,


Page 22 of 27

simply because of the direct and indirect damage that moisture can haveon the foundation and sidewalls. It is very important, therefore, thatsurface runoff water be adequately diverted away from the home. Lotgrading should slope away and fall a minimum of one (1) inch every footfor a distance of six (6) feet around the perimeter of the building.1. RoofGood Fair Need

Chlorine generators can help fight against waterline scum build-up. Theycreate a better, healthier swimming experience for most people. It isn'tnecessary to handle or buy chlorine, and, if the unit is functioning correctly,chlorine residual will always be present in the pool, eliminating algae. Thismakes it nearly impossible to get burning red eyes from chloramines, whichis usually the culprit. Even with a chlorine generator, you still mustmaintain your pool. You still must maintain correct water balance, and youmust maintain the unit itself. The best pool will have 24/7 circulation,correct hydraulic design with an in-floor cleaning system for bottom upcleaning and circulation, a quality ozone system, and a chlorine generatorfor sanitizer residual. If you do not maintain a chlorine generator ormaintain your pool chemistry you can destroy your pool's interior finish,decking and pool equipment. Salt-water pools are great but they needcare.

Swimming pool inspections - The pool and spa is a visual inspection andequipment operation check only. The inspection is a limited non-invasiveand non intrusive inspection. The inspection is general in scope and natureand is chiefly concerned only with the readily accessible electro-mechanicalsystems. Inline plumbing pressure checks for leakage and water chemicalbalance checks are not part of this inspection. Recommend consulting witha professional pool company if this is desired to be done. Note on Poolsafety: Pool/Screen enclosures - Recommend audible alarms installed atrear doors that enter into the pool area. As an alternative to not havingaudible warning alarms installed at door locations - pool safety covers arerecommended installed. A power safety cover should meet therequirements of ASTM pool cover installation standard which addresseslabeling requirements and performance. ASTM requires that the coverwithstand the weight of two (2) adults and a child to allow a rescue shouldan individual fall onto the cover. A power safety cover is a motorized


Page 26 of 27

powered barrier that can be placed over the water area. When the powersafety cover is properly over the pool, it provides a high level of safety forchildren under 5 years old by inhibiting their access to the water. Also asan alternative to a pool safety cover, a fence barrier installed around thepool exterior or between the patio framing members is recommended.
